Date:
H = Humanity, S = Science, SoSc = Social Science, E = Elective. TAKE 3 credits of PE! Courses that are in
BOLD are offered at most twice per year. Try to take them in the term in which they appear on this sheet. You
must have at least 1 H and 1 SoSc elective. See the AA degree course list in the GHC catalog. The prerequisites
and/or co-requisites for some courses are listed in brackets, eg, [MATH 98 or placement] for MATH& 141.

NOTES
1. You should consult with your advisor and with the school[s] you plan to transfer to when choosing your
electives.
2. It’s possible to take the chemistry and physics sequences concurrently. However, it is recommended that
chemistry be taken first and the physics sequence the following year. Math, chemistry, and physics are
all difficult courses and it is best to avoid taking them all simultaneously if possible.
3. It’s possible to take MATH& 151 in the Fall, concurrent with PHYS& 221. But, it’s preferable to have
already taken the first term of Calculus the previous Spring before starting the Engineering Physics.
4. You should get in contact with the schools you are considering transferring to early on. Know their
application for transfer process and deadlines. Keep in mind it is the Transfer School’s decision on
whether or not to accept you as a student.
5. The ENGL& 102/235 course can be taken in the Winter of the Sophomore year. 235 is only offered in
Winter and Spring, so don’t save it until your last Spring term…you’ve already got 3 very time
consuming courses for that term.
6. As an Elective, MATH 220, Linear Algebra, is offered in Fall. This course is recommended as one of
your elective courses to take in the Fall of your second year. Linear algebra is a required course for
essentially all 4-year physics degrees.
7. If you start in a quarter other than Fall, you will be able to pick up extra courses and possibly complete
an AA degree as well as the AS-T, but due to the sequential nature of the Chemistry, Math and Physics,
you will probable need two full years to complete the AS-T in Physics starting with your first Fall
quarter.
8. Don’t forget to take 3 credits of PE courses. You can also use the 5-credit online course HPF 101 to
meet this degree requirement.
